问HN：我已经20年没有买过Windows电脑了
你好，HN，
我已经有20年没有购买过Windows电脑了。现在我回到学校学习速记。随着年龄的增长，我希望学习一门“技能”，以确保我能够在年长时继续工作。学校要求使用Windows系统，因为他们使用Stenograph硬件。
我到处寻找笔记本电脑，主要需要的是内存和几个USB接口。
我在沃尔玛买了一台便宜的200美元笔记本（16GB内存），但几个月来一直遇到麻烦，我需要找一台更好、预算友好且可靠的电脑。问题出在使用速记硬件时，电脑经常卡死。制造速记机的公司将问题归咎于我的笔记本电脑。
我可以花500到1000美元（如果有吸引力的话，可能会更多）。我并不需要现在购买电脑时附带的那些花哨功能。
有没有人能推荐一条找到可靠的、内存充足且能用好几年的笔记本电脑的途径？
感谢您帮我澄清市场上的困惑。

Hell HN,<p>I haven't had to buy a Windows computer in 20 years. I am back in school for stenography. As I get older I wanted to learn a "trade" that would ensure I could work into my older years. The school requires Windows as they work with Stenograph hardware.<p>I've looked everywhere to buy a laptop. I need ram mostly and a few USB ports.<p>I bought a cheap $200 laptop (16gb ram) at Walmart and after a few months of nothing but troubles I need to acquire something better that is budget friendly but reliable. The problems have been with using the stenography hardware and everything freezing up. The company that makes the stenotype machine is blaming my laptop.<p>I could spend $500-$1000 (perhaps more if it is compelling). I don't really need all the fluff that comes when you buy a machine these days.<p>Can anyone recommend a path to finding a reliable, laptop with lots of RAM that will last for several years?<p>Thank you for clarifying my confusion in the market.
